Trivia Time: Name the School

The Baldwin-Whitehall Patch has partnered with the Baldwin Historical Society to bring you a weekly trivia question that delves into our area's colorful past.

 and Patty Woehler, co-presidents of the society, write the questions and provide the pictures.

Here is this week's question:

This school was erected in 1873 on property owned by Captain Henry B. Hays.

Thomas Ogden was the contractor of the four-room building, which replaced an even smaller, one-room school.

This school was the cradle of learning for many prominent South Hills people. The class picture is of students attending in 1895.

After over half of a century of teaching reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic, the school building was declared to have outlived its usefulness and was sold at a public auction.

In one of the pictures seen above, you'll notice that the building needed to be propped up by wooden poles at one point. The building was razed in 1929, and a new school of the same name was built nearby.

What was the name of this school?
